Question

Upon waking up this morning, I noticed that the right side of my mouth is crooked and I am unable to close my upper and lower lips. Everything was fine before I went to bed last night. This morning, after waking up, I found the right side of my mouth crooked and my lips unable to close, and even the corner of my eye is raised. It looks particularly uncomfortable. The right side of my face also feels very stiff. I went to the hospital and the doctor performed a routine examination, diagnosing it as mild facial palsy.

Answer

Hello, facial palsy is a common disease with multiple occurrences, often caused by wind-cold invasion which leads to distorted facial features. It is a disease characterized by dysfunction in the facial expression muscle groups. It is advisable to visit a specialized facial nerve hospital for a consultation. This can help alleviate the condition and, by early detection and treatment, can save on medical costs. Do not self-medicate blindly as it may interfere with diagnosis and affect treatment outcomes, resulting in more harm than good.
